Abstract: Currently, digital technologies are being introduced into many areas of economic activity. Horticultural enterprises are complex objects, and their digitalization is not an easy process. However, with the successful introduction of digital technologies, these farms achieve high efficiency. The article provides a review of the opinions of various scientists regarding the development of these technologies in horticulture. An analysis of the dynamics of fruit and berry production in the context of regions of the Russian Federation made it possible to identify a significant contribution to the all-Russian production of the North Caucasus and Southern Federal Districts, in which during the period 2010 -2021 there was a significant increase in the gross harvest of fruit and berry plantings, which was facilitated by favourable conditions for these cultures, natural and climatic potential and state support. It has been established that the increase in yields for most fruit and berry crops in the country is due to an increase in the area of intensive gardens growing high-yielding early ripening varieties, for the planting of which government subsidies were allocated. The systematization of the main directions of digitalization of horticulture and the examples of the technical means of domestic production used in this case led to the conclusion that this area is widely developed in the country and the great possibilities of Russian science, the developments of which are successfully introduced into horticultural farms. The main obstacles to the active digitalization of horticultural farms, most scientists consider the prevalence of households in the structure of production with limited resources, the lack of qualified specialists, low purchasing power of consumers, as well as the need to increase state support for both fruit and berry producers and developers of innovative technologies.
